A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…

A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often.

Really good guitar on the rpm keith. Sounds like your trying a few different styles and patterns for strumming. Nice lyrics as well, and it sounds like your new studio setup is workin pretty good!

a special place indeed.... i have raised two sons and a daughter,,, i still remember the day i brought my first son home for the first time,,, was a crying for joy moment,, our children are the greatest of all gifts,, and being a good parent and a good spouse are the two hardest jobs/tasks in the universe,,, (but i admit to being a little weird)your song is a beautiful testament well done,,, Richard
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.

DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming

Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!

So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.

I truly apologize for the roughness of this song, but I'm testing to see if the best way to motivate myself to finish something off properly is to have something REALLY rough up here... So I can replace it QUICKLY with something done right.
BETWEEN - 11-27/28-12
I step out of the car
I don't know where we are
Somewhere between a planet
A planet and a star
I never dreamed I'd end up
in a place like this
The Multnomah Falls is up the Columbia Gorge
Somewhere between Portland…
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
Richard!
The song seems to be playing here on the site okay for me, so something must be up on your end. As for the RPM site, if you look under "Latest Discussions" halfway down the right side of the page, you should find reference to the Holiday Challenge...
...And if the song won't play for you on Alonetone, you should be able to listen to it in my player.

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…
I'm not sure if John really had intended to write a funny lyric, but we thought it was funny - and so this became a funny song. At least I think so. :)
In the beginning there was a stupid little synth demo. This is what became of it with a…
...But now as I listen to this version, I think I prefer it... And I suspect that's how I'll feel every time I listen to either version. Ah, the beauty of great music.
Outstanding. I think I prefer this version as well. Both are outstanding. I say keep uploading multiple versions. Seeing the same great artist sing the same song on a different night is always a little bit different... And always worth hearing.

Faved instantly... GREAT arrangement, T!!!... Sorry I haven't been around... Busy time in the classroom, September is. This track is a spectacular reminder of why I need to listen more often.

Theres something I would share with you, if you ever asked me to.
Perhaps it is a secret, perhaps you already know.

Sometimes I can find solace in the sky.
Knowing we are all here...
Under the same sky......

Under the same sky
We can share a light
At any time
Or stoke it
till its heat holds no delight
Under the same sky…
Faved instantly. Y'all are the most original, unfettered, and uninhibited artists I know. Truly brilliant track.
Seriously floored by this one. I need to do exactly as Gary says.
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.

There are a good many (like myself) who merely play (or at times fight with) the guitar. Then there are a very few (like Kavin) who truly are the guitar.
Kavin, both this track and you as an artist are simply magnificent.
Man, I get out of the loop for just a little while and Kavin drops all of this amazing guitar work her on Alonetone. There is no better, "Hey, welcome back, where've you been?" that I could have asked for.

Love the guitar groove and your vocal together, great song
Oh yes, thanks for the heads up, I forgot this one.It disappeared when I took my stuff down a few months back. I keep finding little gems to get back.
Beautiful. Lovely vox and guitar.
I remember the rough version. This came out great Keith!
Those are really fine lyrics Keith to a very pretty song.
Oh yesss... Love it. I can see there's lots of stuff I've got to listen to on here.

Faved instantly. Sooooooo good. I need to take a day, do myself a favor, and go back through the Reefwalker catalog of musical goodness.
I need to get my ass to Texas for one of these live gigs and get my head properly fed. GREAT track.
Great production! Grinning through the whole thing.

Just outstanding. Beautiful tone. Just first rate listening, Kavin.
Double woot!
